Here though isn't so much that fires can start, that can happen, but that it never should have spread so fast in a tower block. They're meant to be designed in such a way that fires are contained within the flats themselves for a while because as we saw last week if they're not contained there is little that can be done to stop the towers becoming a death trap.

You can't have 72 people dying because of one fire in one flat. It's not meant to happen.

So serious questions need to be asked as to how and why and then measures taken to stop it happening again.

l have no doubt that certain fire safety standards have to be met for curtains and other products but whether they are rigorously met is another matter.
